Florida: state inspection for cars?

As far as I know, we gave that up years ago....

Or they are used-car dealers who love the idea that they can do their own inspections...

You could replace all the bulbs on your car every few years so you don't run into that problem ;)

Except for one small problem, you didn't get a bulb replaced you only had it inspected for proper operation.

And just what would you warranty ?? Any state inspection I have ever seen only checks lights and wear items.

You sure about that law? I suspect its not that black and white. Texas only requires emissions testing in certain counties that don't meet air quality standards.

They did a long time ago, but the only inspection they have now is that the the cops pull you over if they see something they don't like and give you a fixit ticket.

Be advised, a large number of Florida drivers seem to be possessed by a unique variety of stupid. Besides the usual kamikazi motorcylists, pissed off at the world big rig drivers and asshole tow truck operators with anger management issues, there's a large contingent of punk kids in these low-slung buzzmobiles who drive like they're on a LeMans track. Also a lot of geezers with sloth-like reflexes and senses working at 20% or less.

Have fun!

No such law. The STATES determine what gets inspected and how. In some NY counties you have to have an enhanced emissions test (sniffer test run on a dyno) in others you only get a safety inspection and a low emissions test that is nothing more than a test of the OBDII system. If you pull in with the MIL light on you fail.
